Retiring to Asheville? Take a Look at Hendersonville!

Year after year, people choose the mountains of western North Carolina to be their home for retirement.  Though the larger community of Asheville is better known throughout the country, many throughout the years have chosen to retire to Hendersonville.  Here are three good reasons why retirees have chosen Hendersonville over Asheville.

1. Lower Property Taxes: Hendersonville is located within Henderson County which enjoys lower taxes than those of Asheville’s Buncombe County.  This can really make a difference for anyone on a fixed income.

2. So Much to Do: So you’re ready to retire but you are far from shuffleboard and Matlock? Residents of Hendersonville enjoy a wide range of activities from the fine dining and antique shops found on historic Main Street to live music and the theater of the Flat Rock Playhouse.  Those that choose Hendersonville are minutes from all kinds of activities and are also less than an hour from downtown Greenville, an area that has gained national exposure for its cultural growth and wide array of award winning restaurants.

3. You won’t be alone! Starting over in a new town at 65 can be a difficult thing to do.  According to the 2010 census over 30% of Hendersonville residents are 65 and over.  There is much in the area to accommodate you such as senior organizations and social groups that will make it easy to make new friends and a new life.
